Diane, The FM9 DocBook starter kit uses DocBook 4.1.2 for XML and DocBook 4.1 for SGML, but your own application can use a later version, whether you start from scratch or base your work on the starter kit. To create your own EDD from the starter kit EDD and update to a later version, open the starter kit EDD, then use the StructureTools > Import DTD command. In the resulting dialog box, specify the DTD for the version of DocBook you want to use as the DTD to import. --Lynne Lynne A. Price Text Structure Consulting, Inc.

Is FM8 --> FM9 worth the money?
Does anyone with /extensive experience/ with FrameMaker 9 think it is worth upgrading from FM8? I downloaded the trial and played with it a bit and like the new menus. But was any substantially or even slightly useful functionality added that makes it must have?

FM9 Question Was: Is FM8 --> FM9 worth the money?
Hi folks, Here's another FM9 question. I can't find anything on the Adobe website about this. Does anyone know if FM9 supports a version of DocBook later than 4.2? FM8 supports only DB 4.2 and there are some serious limitations. Unfortunately, we cannot switch to DITA because we have a contract to provide OEM docs with a customer that uses DocBook. Otherwise, we'd never have used DB at all.

Is FM8 --> FM9 worth the money?
Hi, We upgraded because of the free SDL AuthorAssistant, which we are using to improve both consistency and readability in our docs. We are too small for an editor at this time. We are a group of 5, and everyone here likes the new interface. We use both structured and unstructured docs, but not DITA. There have been no issues with either format.

If you're using it to author in DITA, then I would say yes. If you're authoring in unstructured, I would say meh.
